SSD prices are so crazy that a 2TB drive for the PS5 costs more than the PS5 itself

SanDisk’s new Optimus GX Pro 850P SSD line offers 1TB to 8TB and speeds up to 7,300 MB/s, but prices are strikingly high.

The 2TB model costs €795.99 in Spain, more than a PS5 itself, highlighting how expensive storage upgrades have become.

The article compares it with other PCIe 5.0 SSDs and notes that similar drives, like the 8TB WD Black SN850X, were much cheaper a year ago.

The surge reflects broader shortages and cost increases in NAND and DRAM, making capacity upgrades less accessible for both PCs and consoles.
